  • "The house was quirky and well located."

    However the cleanliness was not optimal, crockery dirty and so we needed to re wash items before use. Alley leading to house was covered in vomit and cigarette butts, a men's drinking club is located below the property, was at times noisy. Only a "starter pack" of essential items is included in the price, meaning guests will have to start holiday buying essentials; dishwasher tabs, toilet paper etc. We also had maintenance problems, the letting agents Yorkshire Coastal cottages and Sykes were woefully inadequate and unhelpful, we finally managed to contact the owner directly - who couldn't have been nicer. The company policy of "starter packs" and cleanliness of the property fell below our expectations of a stress free holiday, however if willing to spend first day of holiday cleaning and shopping the house was charming.

  • "A great family holiday house in a good location."

    Plenty of room for 8 people and having 3 bathrooms was a plus. Kitchen very well equipped. We all loved our stay there and wish we could have stayed longer.

  • "Beautiful property, just off a main tourist street, but away from it all."

    Highly recommend. Great to have a parking permit, 10 minute walk up the hill.

  • "We had a really enjoyable stay at Sanders House."

    We visited as a family and booked here because of the central location. It was ideally situated with shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs all in the doorstep. The house was decorated to a high standard with lots of lovely touches throughout. We were particularly impressed with the little signs throughout offering tips and instructions on how to use appliances etc… made things very easy. The rooms were lovely - a couple of our guests found the mattresses in the first floor twin room a little hard however that was the only thing we could mention. The house was well equipped and we found we had everything we needed. It was clean throughout and more spacious than we expected. The yard is very quiet, and although the house is just off a Main Street, we didn’t hear any noise at all. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We would definitely recommend.

  • "This was our second visit to Sanders House and we were just as impressed as we were first time round."

    The property is spacious, very clean, comfortable, well maintained and oh so convenient for walking around Whitby. It is a charming old property with lots of history, tucked away at the top of a yard literally minutes from everything you need. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for quality accommodation in a central location and would love to return again. The owners are friendly and very helpful if needed but the property has everything you could want for a self catering holiday. Loved it!

The property

Escape to Sanders House, a beautifully restored three-storey cottage tucked away in the heart of Whitby—one of North Yorkshire’s most beloved coastal towns.

Just steps from the golden sands of Whitby Beach and moments from vibrant cafés, shops, and historic landmarks, this charming retreat offers the perfect setting for unforgettable holidays with family, friends, or a romantic getaway for two.

Arrive via the characterful outdoor staircase and step inside to discover an inviting blend of comfort, heritage, and style.

Rustic beams and original features pair seamlessly with thoughtfully designed, modern interiors.

On the first floor, a sleek fully-equipped kitchen/diner with a wall-mounted Smart TV invites slow breakfasts, cosy evening meals, and laughter-filled gatherings.

Next door, the welcoming sitting room offers plenty of space to unwind—sink into the plush corner sofa and settle in for movie nights after days spent exploring the coast.

Across the upper floors, four beautifully presented bedrooms await—two doubles and two twins—each designed to help you drift into a restful night’s sleep.

Two bedrooms boast their own private en-suite bath or shower rooms, adding a touch of luxury to your stay.

Each morning, savour a refreshing shower and a warm cup of coffee before setting off to explore Whitby’s captivating charm.

Wander through winding streets to Whitby Abbey, St Mary’s Church, the Whalebone Arch, and the famous 199 Steps, or simply enjoy the bustle of the harbour and the sweep of the shoreline.

Venture further afield along the dramatic coastline: discover the postcard-perfect village of Robin Hood’s Bay, enjoy the lively seaside attractions of Scarborough, or take a nostalgic journey on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from nearby Pickering.

For those seeking tranquillity, the enchanting Guisborough Woods and historic Guisborough Priory offer peaceful woodland walks and heritage charm.

And of course, no visit is complete without exploring the breathtaking North York Moors National Park, with its rolling heather, big skies, and some of the most inspiring landscapes in England.

With its unbeatable location, characterful interiors, and endless adventures on your doorstep, Sanders House promises a holiday you’ll treasure long after you leave.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
